Re:Will SCO effect BSD?

The Berkley University is famous for what?

An awsome CS and Engineering dept, original creaters of our modern email system (sendmail and clones) and the freeing of BSD Unix.

I think if SCO makes a move towards BSD they will get a lawyer beating they won&#039;t forget easily.

I totally agree.

Oh and didn&#039;t BSD win against AT&amp;T granting them immunity towards such cases - or at least one hell of a defence.

Yes. There was a decision to release the BSD 4.4 Lite source code under the BSD license. Either in settlement or in court. Either way, Sco couldn&#039;t hold up in court. If I create the lock, and then give you permission to redistribute and own lock-lite and then give the lock to mr-crazy corp., mr-crazy corp. can&#039;t undo what I did when I owned it. It was mine and I did what I wanted with it.

Re:Will SCO effect BSD?

what im saying is, though BSD itself might not be directly affected..what about other open source software that BSD uses..its not easy to find replacements for some of those programs that actually work worth a shit
